Joseph Ryan Cooke, left us on September 1, 2024. Born on November 20, 1972, Joe lived a life dedicated to his family, and hard work.

He is survived by his wife, Tiffany Cooke; children, Jake, Juliet, Farrah, Jenna, Gianna, and Jaxson; mother, Brenda Dial (Bob Dial); Father, Tom Cooke (Donna Cooke); brother, Chris Cooke (Tiffany Brown Cooke); Niece, Kellsie; Mother-in-Law, Lori Bekkum Smith; father-in-Law, Gary Smith; Sister-in-Law, Holly Bass and a Brother, Kevin Williams.

Joe was so much, to so many, one of the biggest hearts you could ever encounter. His children were the center of his universe, as well as his wife. Family was everything to him. The story of his life is honestly too much to list here. But, if we can judge a person's legacy by the number of lives he touched, his is one to admire and to aspire to. Joe leaves us, and we can never fill the void that his absence has created. But we can look forward to the day we see him again.

A Celebration of Life will be on Thursday, Sept. 5, at 3 p.m. at Heritage Funeral Home.

Arrangements are by Heritage Funeral Home, East Brainerd Chapel.
